ST. PAUL. THURSDAY. AUGUST 15, 1878.
WHAT means this prolonged conference
between Judge Taft and Senator Conkling at
the latter's Utica home? Can it be that
Tuft contemplates treason "against Ohio's
favorite son?
Now that St. Paul ha8 secured the oromise
of Mr. Hayes' attendance at the State fair,
it is mmored that Minneapolis is endeavoring
to induce Dennis Kearney to attend the ex
position at that place.
IT is the opinion at Constantinople that
the Bosnian insurrection cannot last long.
The same opinion has prevailed at St. Paul
for a long time, but, then, the Turks aie
habitually slow in reaching conclusions.
HE Indian war in the West is practically
over, only a few roving bands of redskins
being on the war path. Gen. Howard can
now safely emerge from his retreat in the
telegraph office and begin an active cam
paign against the painted braves.
THE Milwaukee Sentinel is fearful lest the
Wisconsin Democrats and Greenbackers
shall pool their issues in the approaching
fight. If tbey should do so there would be
BO little left of the Republican party that a
shrewd detective with a search warrant
would hardly be able to discover it.
CHABLEY FOSTEB assures us that the con
tributions to the Republican corruption
fund as as liberal as ever before, but it is
noticeable that the committee i3 not making
as big a spread as heretofore, and is hiring
no expensive speakers to canvass either
Ohio or Indiana. All the stumping in those
States is to bo done by the candidates them
selves. This state of facts does not indicate
a plethoric purse.
WITH the exception of four who robbed
the train down in Kansas on Tuesday, there
is not a single train robber above ground or
outside of the walls of the Stillwater peni
tentiary to-day. They have all been hunted
down and shot like wild beasts as they de
served. Notwithstanding their fate, how
ever, there still appear to be men foolhardy
enough to take the hazard of robbing peo
ple on the rail.
THE witness Roberts, who testified befoie
the Potter committee on Tuesday, confirrrs
in all essential particulars the testimony of
Major Burke as to the bargain entered into
between Hayes and the Democrats of Louis
iana by which he was to obtain the Presi
dency by fraud, and they to obtain their
rights in the State government. The web is
slowly enveloping Hayes in an inextricable
mesh of fraud.
THE correspondent of the GLOBE at St,
Peter finds the opinion prevailing there that
the Senatorial investigating committee have
gone to the insane asylum provided with a
pail of whitewash and plenty of brashes, and
will proceed to kalsomine the institution and
its managers in an artistic manner. If this
shall prove to be the case it were better for
them that a mill-stone had been tied about
their necks and that they had been drowned
in the depths of the Mississippi river.
HEBE is a dispatch from London:
Nubar Pasha, summoned by the Khedive to
assist in carrying out reforms of administra
tion in Egypt, Bailed for Alexandria, bearing
important prospects of reforms, sanctioned by
England and France.
The significance of the dispatch is in the
words "sanctioned by England and France."
They Bhow that our prediction that these
two nations are bound to be the controlling
powers in affairs at the East was fully war
ranted by the facts. No measures of govern
ment not "sanctioned by England and
France" can be instituted. Tbey are literally
the cocks of the walk.
B. HISOOCK, of the Potter committee, is
evident! fearful that some evidence will be
produced tending to implicate Mr. Hayes
directly with the forgeries and perjuries to
which he owes his office, and is busy ob
jecting to the introduction of testimony hav
ing such a tendency. -His efforts will be
or ought to beunavailing. If there isany
such evidence in existence the people have a
right to hear it. Already convinced of the
entire lack of principle of the de facto exe
utive, the public have a right to know pre
cisely how far his greed for office has car
ried himhow far he compromised his
monhood for his own official aggrandize
ment. Let as get at the bottom facts.
TOO CAN WIS IF YOU WILL.
If all the elements of opposition to the
Republican party will unite, Bill Washburn
can be defeated. If a "rock rooted," jack-
ass buttressed campaign is made, he will
be elected. It is all very well to bloviate
about ''time-honored principles," but as a
matter of practical utility it is a good deal
better to make a campaign on something a
little more modern. The questions at issue
are whether the country will endorse the
stealing of the Presidency, the legislation
which makes the rich richer and the poor
poorer, the frauds and corruptions which
permeate every branch of the govern-
ment, the financial policy which stag-
nates business in every part of the
country, or whether there shall be elected a
Congress which will afford relief, dethrone"
the thieves and place the seal of condemna-
tion upon the party of robbery and usurpa-
tion.
Not that any one proposes to remove
Hayes from his stolen office, but, because as
law-abiding citizens we submit to the infa-
mous wrong, it does not follow that we
should endure it and encourage its repeti-
tion. The people should arise with such a
whirlwind of indignation that no men or no
party will ever again dare to repeat the out-
rage.
Washburn is afraid of a live campaign.
He wants the Democrats to stand
on the, rock rooted" basis of
dead issues, repelling all alliances, and
Making a campaign on the dead and buried
past. If this can be done he knows he has
an easy victory. He is, accordingly, resort-
ing to the same corrupt practices by which
he secured his own nomination to control
the Democratic convention.
We charge Mr. Washburn directly and
positicely, xoith endeavoring, by the use of
money, to control the coming Democratic
conoention, and tee warn our friends
throughout the district to see that this dam-
nable plot is defeated.
We do not ask or seek to have a conven-
tion committed to any man, but we do ask
for a convention without a single traitor, for
delegations, every man of which will earnest-
ly and honestly desire to see Mr. Washburn
defeated, and who will take such action both
upon candidate and platform as to secure
that result. We want a platform upon which
every element of opposition to the corrupt
gang which Mr. Washburn represents can
stand. He represents everything which is
evil, and little or nothing which is good. A
man of decidedly mediocre attainments, he
seeks to buy his icay into Congress with
his money. Having debauched his own party
he hopes to continue the process in the ranks
of the opposition. A born aristocrat, an
enemy of labor and the laboring man, he
hopes to compass their support by purchase.
Under the hypocritical disguise of virtue, he
is resorting to the most corrupt and debas-
ing practices known to American politics.
The people of the Third District should
rise in their might and stamp this corrupt
and corrupting man out of political life.
With the large influx of Democratic voters,
with the hundreds of Republicans who re-
pudiate the financial policy of their party,
with hundreds more who do not want to see
the State disgraced by the infliction
of the Washburn incubus, he
can be defeated. But to ac-
complish this there must be a liberal
policy adopted.
'There must be no secret Washburn emiS'
sar/es in the convention on the sixth of Sep-
tember.
If that convention is composed of men
who "mean business," a broad and liberal
policy will be adopted. A platform will be
framed upon which every element of oppo-
sition can stand by whatever name or na-
ture it exists. A candidate will be present-
ed who will command the confidence, re-
spect and support of the people and the at
tempt to inflict the Washburn dynasty upon
Minnesota will be a failure.
MB. TH VMM IJS'S SPEECH.
Unusual interest will attach to the utter
ances of Senator Thurman at Hamilton on
Tuesday, not only because of his position as
a- leader of the Democratic party in the
United States Senate, but because his is to
day one of the most prominent names men
tioned in connection with the Democratic
nomination for President in 1880. Both as
their present leader and as their prospective
standard bearer two years hence, Mr. Thur
man is entitled to a fair and candid hearing.
The speech, which was given in full in the
GLOBE of yesterday, is perhaps one of the
clearest expositions of Democratic doctrine
that has yet been given to. the., public. He
does not indulge in criticism of the ]olioy of
the Republican party except he finds good
ground for criticism and ample facts upon
which to base his objections to that policy
he makes no accusations that he cannot and
does not prove by an array of indisputable
figures taken from official sources.
The most notable portion of the speech is
that devoted to the financial question. In
discussing it Mr. Thurman brings to bis
aid a clear conception of all its phases anda
perfect knowledge of the evils under which
industry is to-day laboring. He objects to
the national bank system, and gives his rea
sons for that objection with such perspicacity
that every reader must be con
vinced of the correctness of his
position. He objects to such a cur
rency because it means an indefinite per
petuation of the national debt, the banks be
ing founded on that debt because it tends
tq combine, concentrate and intensify the
money power because it is a special privi
lege that puts many millions of dollars annu
ally into the pockets of the shareholders and
takes many millions annually out of the
pockets of the people. In illustrating this
last point Mr. Thurman presents the case
with great clearness thus:
The greenbacks now outstanding amount to
$346,661,016. Computing interest upon this
sum at the lowest rate at which the govern
ment can borrow money, 4 per cent., and we
have an annual saving to the people, resulting
from the use of the greenback, of $13,867,240.
Bat if greenbacks were substituted for $322,-.
000,000 of national banknotes now outstanding
there would be a further saving to the people
of 4 per cent, annually on that sum, namely,
$12.888,000making a total annnal saving by
the use of the greenback of $26,747,240. Froi
thiB, however, deduct the taxes on their circu
lation paid by the banks, amounting to about
three millions annually, and the net saving
would be about twenty-three and three-quarter
millions.
His conclusions 'are indisputable that
greenbacks should constitute the currency of
the country, and that the national bank sys
tem should be abolished as expensive, based
on a false theory of finance, and wholly per
nicious.
For the present business depression Sena
tor Thurman arraigns the Republican party
in strong though temperate language, and
condemns the proposed resumption of
specie payments as wholly impracticable and
calculated to create instability through the
impossibility of maintaining a specie basis.
He then proceeds to charge the dominant
party with extravagance in the management
of the government, supporting his allega
tions with official figures. Leaving out all
expenses caused by or traceable to the war,
ho shows that the Republican administra
tion has expended an average of two and a
half times the amount for the ordinary ex
penses of the government that was expended
by the last Democratic administrations, or
an average expenditure of $1.94 per
capita under Democratic rule against an
average expenditure of $3.45 per capita un
der Republican rule.
A recapitulation of the public corruptions
that have brought such deep disgrace upon
the nation during the dominance of the Re
publican party, Mr. Thurman avoids, a bare
reference to them being calculated to awaken
loathing and indignation. He, however,
handles the great electoral conspiracy, by
means of which a President never elected
was placed in the White House, without
gloves. He denounces the actors in the
tragedy unsparingly, and exhorts his hearers,
by all they hold sacred and dear, to manifest,
in no uncertain tones, their abhorrence of the
great conspiracy.
With a brief reference to the policy of the
Republican party in seeking to stir up sec
tional strife and to prolong the animosities
engendered by the war, coupled with an ear
nest protest against such a manifestly hate
ful policy, Mr. Thurman closed what was
perhaps the best speech of the campaign.
It was not remarkable for its fine rhetoric or
for its florid appeals to the predjudices or
passions of the masses, but rather for its
calm presentation of pending issues, its
clqse, convincing reasoning, its entire want
of prejudice in dealing with the themes that
demanded his attention. It was a statement
of his own principles and the principles of
the Democratic party, and a demonstration
that those principles are logical, reasonable,
and calculated to work benefit
to the countryto stem the tide of
bankruptcy restore prosperity to the labor
ing classes give the country a safe and con
venient currency, restore economy and hon
esty to the administration of our govern
ment, and assist in the re-establishing ol
that fraternity between the sectionh that
ought to characterize the p9ople.
HOBAIIO SEVMOUA is a veritable Mark
Tapley, although lacking his exuberance ol
expression. He is confident that th9 coun
try is all rightthat it is bound to arise
from the slough of despond into which it
has fallen. He is sure a reaction from tie
present extravagance and corruption will
speedily come, and that the country will be
purer and better for its experience. Even
the communistic scare does not alarm hirr.
He thinks they are the most harmless of
men and will do more good than hurt. They
make clear by their idleness and their follies
the need of sound social organization.
When they talk of gaining their ends by
force and their desire to wade up to their
knees in blood, they only teach our citizens
the need of good laws well enforced. Their
impotence here i-hows the strength of our
government beyond that of others. They
may elect some of their nominees they may
qualify the action of the old parties, get
them out of their ruts, bring up new topics
for discussion, and in these ways may be of
use. The existence of these new organiza
zations proves that there is trouble and dis
tress in our country, and they will force the
governing party to look into their causes.
Mr. Seymour is exceptionally level-headed
on tais topic.
HE Republicans of the fifth Illinois dis
trict have thrown Mr. Burchard, their Rep
resentative for ten years, overboard, and
nominated a fresh man. This is Burchard's
reward for knocking the Republican cam
paign capital into a cocked hat towards the
close of the last session of Congress. It
will be rememberel that, when the cry of
revolution was at its height as the result of
the Potter electoral inquiry, Burchard sought
to commit the Democratic party to the
policy of questioning Mr. Hayes' title by
offering a resolution declaring that the
pending inquiry was not carried on for the
purpose of unseating the alleged President.
To his surprise the Democrats adopted his
resolution on the spot, and there was weep
ing and wailing and gnashing of teeth on
the Republican side. The Republicans have
concluded that they have no use for such a
fool in Congress any longer. A man who
cannot open his mouth without putting his
foot in it is of little use to any party.

CROPS IN MINNESOTA.
Taylor's Falls Journal, Aug. 9: Harvest
work is about completed in this vicinity.
Harvest hands who went south to assist in
gathering the crops, are returning from their
labors with pockets filled with money.
Princeton (Mille Lac county) Union,
Aug. 8: The farmers of Greenbush and
Milo are still hard at work in the harvest
fields the grain up there was at least two
weeks later in ripening than on the sandy
soil in the immediate vicinity of Princeton.
Duluth Herald, Aug. 10: We learn that
Jacob Zimmerman, of Hermann township,
has raised this season a splendid crop of
white winter wheat, which will turn out fsrty
bushels to the acre. The berry is superb
and will grade the highest. He has sold a
portion of the grain at $2.50 per bashel for
seed.
Breckenridge (Wilkin "county) Gazette,
Aug. 9: L. J. Moore has a wheatfield of
fifteen acres, which was broken during the
wet time in April last. After harrowing it
he sowed it to wheat. Now he has a fine
field of wheat that will average ten bushels
to the acre. The grain being plump and
appears to be uninjured by the hot sun.
Glencoe (Pope Co.) Press, Aug. 10 Hun
dreds of bushels of grain in this county and
thousands of bushels in the State have gone
to waste for lack of help to harvest it. And
while the highest wages offered here$2.50
to $3.50 per dayfail to secure necessary
help, we read of thousands looking for em
ployment in the East who are unable to ob
tain it.
Benson (Swift county) Times, Aug. 9:
Harvest about over. Threshing will soon
begin. Wheat heads not filled out. Wheat
will begin to ome in the last of this, or first
of next week. Tuesday last we made our
first visit to the thriving village of Appleton.
The wheat fields along the road looked fine,
especially in the neighborhood of W. H.
Topping's and in the vicinity of Appleton.
Glenwood (Pope county) Eagle, Aug. 9:
Grain cutting is about completed. Stacking
and threshing is now in order. Farmers
should lose no time in securing their grain.
A very heavy storm passed over this section,
Tuesday night, delugpg the country and
damaging grain to some considerable extent.
Another storm Wednesday night. If this
thing keeps on all summer, farmers might
as well put their threshing machines into
winter quarters.
Wadena Tribune, Aug. 10: Wheat buyers
here think that No. 1 wheat will start in at
75 cents. Harvest is nearly ended, and soon
the hum of the thresher will be heard. Our
farmers will have nearly completed their
harvesting this week, and have their grain
well secured in the stack. As a whole, the
harvest season has been very favorable, and
we know of no grain that has been damaged.
Owing to the early harvest this season, some
of our farmers were unable to get their grain
cut until it was almost ripe, but by using the
self-binders no apparent loss has been08us-
tained.
Jackson Republic, Aug. 10: Farmers have
rushed along the harvesting as fast as it was
possible for thm to do between showers. It
is comforting to hear now and then of a few
^ood pieces of wheat. We have heard of
two or three farmers who estimate their crop
at twenty bushels per acre. Stacking opera
tions have not progressed very rapidly
"too catching weather" is what they call it.
It is a gratifying fact that the corn crop in
the "southern tier" is excellent. With
wheat not more than half a crop and oats
somewhat damaged by the rains, a good
irop of corn is not to be sneezed at. If we
cannot raise so much wheat to the acre as
the Red River country, we canbeat that sec
tion all hollow on corn.
Mankato (Blue Earth county) Review.
August 13: We publish threshing reports
and reliable estimates of the crop harvested
which have so far come to hand. The facts
given are probably exceptions, but they are
so much better than we had expected, and
than generally reported, that we are induced
to hope for a larger yield in this county than
was heretofore estimated, [In McPherson.

difference in contrast with that in the shock.

SAMMY'S HOPE.
The Emissaries of Tilden Laborilift to Com
pass His Elf vat ion to the Presidency
Hayes to He. Impeached and Tilden to We
nominated in 1880.
fNew York Correspondence Washington Sunday
H'.-rald.J
As a matter of fact Samuel J. Tilden is
busier to-day than almost any other man in
America. He not only expects to take
President Hayes' place, but he expects to be
the nominee of the Democracy in 1880.
Charley O'Rourke, manager of the New York
City Press association, and myself were
walking down John street, New York, yes
terday, when we meta prominent New York
merchant, whose name must not be men
tioned. "Con ress," said he, "will meet on
the 5th day of March, 1879."
"For what?"
"To impeach Hayes."
"What makes you think so?"
"I know, sir I know that to-day Samuel
J. Tilden has emissaries (three of them) out,
and I know what his programme is. He
proposes to be elected to the United States
Senate in the place of Conkling, and also to
press by personal contact his claims for the
Presidency."
"Does he believe he will be elected Senator
by the New York legislature that will be
elected this fall?"
"He knows he will. He has that matter
fixed. Here is the first vantage-ground. He
weakened on the commission of Senators,
Representatives and judges who seated
Hayes, but he is desperate now."
"Does he expect to unseat Hayes?"
"No, of course not but he proposes to
keep his name so prominently before the
public, by reason of his being a Senator,
and by reason of the new question of im
peachment, thpt Thurman, Bayard, Hen
dricks and all must stand aside aud let Til
den be tue nominee against Grant in 1880."
"But he is so old?"
"He will be the liveliest old fossil yr.u
ever saw in 1880."
"Every Congress has two sessions. Tbe
first is the long one of the Forty-fifth Con
gress that is past the next, session of this
Congress adjourns by constitutional limit:
ends March 4,1879. It meets the first Mon
day of ue December."
"Yes but even that is provided against.
It is so arranged that they are to call a ses
sion of Congress on the 5th of March, 1879.
In other words, the Forty-sixth Congress
will immediately succeed the .Forty-fifth.
Tilden is to be elected Senator this winter by
the New York legislature, the impeachment
of Hayes will commence in February, and
Tilden and the other new Senators will be
seated on March the 5th."
"The House must impeach and ihe Senate
try the accused upon the articles of impeach-
ment."
"I rue, but the House ib Democratic. No
body believfd the Potter resolutions would
pass, but they did."
"But there is no assurance that the next
House will be Democratic?"
"That has nothing to do with it. If this
House meet on the 5th of March, the next
Congress must meet then, and the Senate
must go on with the impeachment trial."
"It is usual for the President to call an
extraordinary session of Congress. Do you
suppose Mr. Hayes would do so under such
circu instances?''
"He would be forced to, or admit the
weakness of his case."
"But suppose he did not?"
'Then he would lose the opportunity.
That matter is settled in the minds of the
men who are managing this thing. They do
not want Hayes to call Congress together in
extraordinary session they want him to re
fuse to do so, and in the meantime the im
peachment trial will go on, and it cannot in
decency stop."
"What do you mean by that?'l
"Simply that the impeachment articles
wilt pass the House in January, occupy the
biggest part of the Senate's attention in
February and be pending in March. The
Senate's matter of the failure of the appro
priation bills may m-ke an extra session
necessary. Al these contingencies have
been weighed, and the advice of at least a
dosen of the very best lawyers in the United
States has been obtained.
"For mercy's sake, upon what point?"
"Upon the point that nothing can stop
the progress in the Senate if articles of im
peachment are presented by the House."
"Not the constitutional limit of a Con
gressman's career?"
'Nothing. Admit that the Congressman's
salary stops and he is no longer a public
servant. A now Congress is elected, the new
Senate is Democratic, both houses are Dem
ocratic, even this Republican Senate will be
forced to help the House call the new Con
gress together, or public opinion will nomi
nate and elect Tilden President. In that
event, assuming that it will not be necessary
to coerce the Senate by defeating the appro
priation bills, Tilden will be a Senator, and
while apparently taking no part will slyly
circumvent the Bayard, Thurman and Hen
dricks influence for the next nomination."
"Do you suppose anybody is going to be
lieve that?"
"They will and I tell you they will sea it
commence as I tell you. and that Tilden will
take Conkling's seat next March."
"Why did Manton Marble give such an
extended and curious history of the Elec
toral Commission business?"
"That is another part of the programme.
Marble did that to build up the waning
chances of Tilden for the nomination. It
was not for Marble to speak but Tilden
chose to speak through him. I look upon
that as a good stroke of policy so do all
Tilden's friends. If you read that paper
carefullv you will find that every squint of
incidental influence around it is deliberately
aimed against Thurman. It was a document
intended to stab Thurman, a man of whom
Tilden is surely afraid. Tilden has three
fixed ideas in view: First, he does not ex
pect to get Hayes out. Second, He proposes
to have him impeached, tried and acquitted
with doubt. Third, He proposes to raise the
very devil all the time to keep his owrf name
fresh fort neyt convention and counteract
the influences that seem arising in favor of
Thurman, Bayard, and that chronic can
didate, Thomas A. Hendricks. In all this
the Democrats assume and confidently be
lieve that the next President will be a
Democrat. They are fighting for the nomi
nation, and Tilden seems to have the inside
track, fearing only Thurman."
"How can they be thus assured?"
"Tilden has three trusty men out, much
better than those who spent his 'bar'l of
money' in the last Presidential campaign.
He knows his men now, and the Tilden
movement for the convention of 1879 is or
ganized beautifully, and has all the money on
he Democratic side. You sea there are a
number of bondholders among the Demo
crats who are watching this matter closely.
I hey would be satisfied with either Tilden
or Bayard, because both are sound on the
money question, but when you mention any
Western man's name in connection with the
Presidency they scare at once. They trem
ble at the name of Thurman because he is a
soft money man, and they want New York
and San Francisco to do the exchange of the
East, instead of forcing tbe Asiatic to go
around the world to make his exchanges in
London, as be has usually done, and would
continue to do if our currency was ex
panded."
"Then, according to what yon claim to
know from headquarters, Mr. Tilden is do
ing bis level beet to be renominated?"
"He is. He will be elected by the Albany
legislature next winter to a "seat in the
Senate, anaVthe Forty-sixth Congress will
meet on the 6th of March, 1879, with an im-
^?& **&>*:'
peachment case pending. Further than
that, events must determine Tilden's future."
The New York city editor referred to with
whom this conversation was held, is a very
prominent one, and I would mention his
name only that he requests it be not done.

Congressman Hewitt, in bis address to the
Columbia crew on Saturday, gave Kearney a
rap. After speaking of the necessity for
greater political interest and public spirit on
the part of educated young men. ho said:
To-day an agitator has arisen who says to
the ignorant and the lowly, not to the in
tentionally erring."Pool your issues, and.
when we have broken down the control of
the government, we shall arrange matters to
suit ourselves." If agitator* like, this man
are to succeed, there cannot but be great
danger to the constitution. Let me tell you
what they have done in California. [The
speaker drew a document from his pocket
and held it up to the audience.] This is
from one of the leading lawyers of San
Francisco, a man of the highest character,
who has just been elected to the constitu
tional convention.
He says: "We are in the very winter of
universal discontent. Dennis Kearney has
t^een able to bring about th? present chaos.
Business is at a standstill, all improvements
arrested, enterprise paralyzed, property de
preciated. Domestic capital is hidden, and
foreign capital is withdrawn or going We
are to have a constitutional convention in
September, and every demagogue in the
State is already hoarse with crying out for
reform, which means the destruction of every
material interest. I don't know what we
are coming to. The Chinese are debited
with all our misfortunes, and the agitators
are now publicly moving to drive them out
by fire aud sword. I may be an alarmist,
buf,
when the lower order of society in this
city can accomplish by the ballot the elec
tion of thirty-two delegates to the constitu
tional convention, many of whom can neith
read or write, some of whom cannot speak a
word of the English language, and of whom
nineteen were naturalized within a fortnight
or three weeks of their election, and quite as
many of whom are not qualified by our laws
to sit on a petit jurywhen such things can
be. no man can declare my fears unreason-
able." Now, young gentlemen, these things
have been done in a free American State.
The man who has done it is here, and what
he has succeeded in doing in the West he
is going to try to do in the East. Sit down
supinely if you will, and see the landmarks
of social order swept away, but do not com
plain when the terrible result of your negli
genco confronts you. Under our present
system we support, perhaps, 200,000 tramps.
If you want to see the number swelled to
4,000,000, sit down and make no effort to de
fend the institutions which your father left
to you. These evils do not euro themselves.
There is only one way to cure them, and that
is, go into politics. You have nothing to
fear from it if you set yourself honestly and
manfully to work to win the respect of your
fellow citizens and of the public. [Cheers.]

Inquiry was made at the office of Trinity
church corporation this morning in regard
to the probable proceedings of the house of
bishops, which will convene in Grace chapel

cusations of immorality against that aged
bishop, his resignation of his office in the
church, and the fact of his reiient depar
ture for Europe, have all been widely
published. In reply to the questions on the

Coskry, but, if it refused to do so, could not
dismiss him from the church except on his
conviction aftei a formal trial. Such a trial
could be held only in the event of a present
ment of charges against him, either by a
toother bishop or tbe convention of his dio
cese. It was not known at the Trinity office
whether such charges would be preferred or
